Want to understand what happens when a non-union (NU) performer is cast in a union (U) project (or when a project “flips” to be U)? Helpful thread alert! To be clear: “must-join” just means that after all the steps explained below, a performer must join SAG-AFTRA *in order to do more UNION gigs*.

THIS! Folks love to forget that unions are made up of PEOPLE, and people are messyyyyyy. Luckily, perfection isn’t a union goal. Those include things like solidarity, community care, fair wages and working conditions, progress, health care, pensions/retirement plans, transparency and protection.

More like @ VocalGOAT than @vocaltomes.bsky.social but i’ll allow it hdb, you freaking amazing human!!! 🩵

when people say “they’re fully ignoring judicial rulings & court orders; the courts, fed worker resistance & elections don’t matter anymore” i point them to things like this if they weren’t threatened by the established system, why are they pouring money into state elections & firing fed employees?

For those unaware, SAG-AFTRA is entering it's 7th straight month of striking interactive projects for enforceable AI rights. SAG-AFTRA contracts are protected by their legal staff--I can't afford a lawyer without the union. I am only working on projects signed to a SAG-AFTRA INTERIM AGREEMENT.

THIS. I can’t afford to not work, but I DEFINITELY can’t afford to work without transparency, compensation and *enforceable* protections against the existential threat of generative AI to my work and the work of so many others in this industry (and beyond).

If you love games and are curious about anything from “who’s who?” in the game making process to why the current strike matters, then guess what! There’s a very excellent Q&A playlist from the very excellent folks behind @gpm-official.bsky.social !

Join @jpkarliak.bsky.social as we check out the highlights from the recent SAG-AFTRA strike update! #sagaftrastrong #levelupthecontract #videogamestrike youtube.com/shorts/H2gU3...

In case you wondered if we were still on strike after six months, and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t know we were on strike at all. After six months.

The demands have been proven reasonable. Proven doable. And yet................... 😵‍💫

hot takes on the situation in our beloved city, especially from folks who don’t live here, are the absolute last thing we need. i beg of you- make donations, not comments.

can’t find a place to volunteer? check in with your local meals on wheels, please! delivery support is always needed & it’s super rewarding to be part of immediate, direct community care thank you to all who want to help as we navigate this hellscape of fires-we are so grateful for the support

🎙️ VOICE ACTOR PSA 🎙️ Alex Hanback has set up a program providing equipment to VAs whose setups were destroyed by the LA Fires. He asked me to share his effort on Bluesky, so if you need new equipment or want to donate equipment, use the link below 🔁 RT to Spread Awareness 🔁 #VoiceActing #MutualAid

California Wildfire Relief Fund NAVA has set up Fund for those affected. Donate or Request: navavoices.org All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to helping voice actors and their families recover. It’s times like this when the VO Community is strongest.

It's 2025 and SAG-AFTRA is still on strike for a fair Interactive contract that provides adequate consent and compensation when generative AI uses our voices and likenesses in video games #sagaftrastrong #levelupthecontract

I pretend to live lives and die deaths in a felt box.
